Insofar as babies and children grow up quickly, we very quickly find ourselves faced with a stock of bulky clothes that are no longer used, and that are not worn at all. But what to do with it:give, exchange, or sell?
To make room in the wardrobes and cupboards for your little ones, or to finally declutter your attic, you can always donate the clothes your children no longer wear . Three solutions then present themselves to you.
The first is to talk about it with your work colleagues, your relatives and your acquaintances. Aim especially at parents with kids younger than yours, mentioning that these are clothes already worn. You will be surprised how many parents will appreciate your gesture. Besides, do not hesitate to invite them to your home. Let them make their choice, because only a mother knows very well the age and size of her child.
The second option is to make donations to charities and non-governmental organizations. There are many possibilities between Emmaüs, the Red Cross or Secours Populaires. More and more, moreover, Relais containers are being developed in which you can deposit these clothes at all hours of the day and night. Here too, your initiative will be applauded, because through your generosity, you will help many families in need in France and around the world.
Finally, the last alternative is to give them to strangers. To do this, all you have to do is place advertisements on the internet.
Otherwise, in order to save money, the second-hand clothes of children, babies and infants are exchanged more and more these last years. The principle is very simple, you offer mothers in your neighborhood and those around you the clothes that have become too small. Instead, you receive children's clothes corresponding to the sizes of yours.
Otherwise, there are also websites that connect people who want to barter second-hand clothes. This is for example the case of the Wardrobe of the Little ones. On this platform, items are dropped off and picked up in batches made up of around twenty items of clothing. One of the disadvantages is to come across a pack with clothes you don't like.
But how about participating in H&M's recycling policy? You deposit old clothes to be recycled in one of the shops of the Swedish ready-to-wear giant. In return, you get a voucher.
The ultimate solution is undoubtedly the most lucrative since it is a question of reselling the clothing effects . But first of all, to make sure you find potential buyers, you have to sort out the items to be marketed by selecting only clothes that are still in excellent condition. It's even better if you have branded clothes, which have been worn very little and therefore almost new.
Now regarding the distribution of classified ads, you will be particularly spoiled with social networks. Facebook and Instagram are recommended for this type of sale. Open accounts if you don't already have one. Want to have more targeted buyers? Try your luck with LeBonCoin. And among the specialized portals, Patatam.com is the reference site. But you can also visit BBchoo.com, Kidsdressing.com, or Charlineetsescopains.com.
Finally, don't neglect garage sales and other clearance sales.
